Ezekiel 1:11-22 World English Bible (WEB)

11. Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.

12. Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn’t turn when they went.

13. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: the fire went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.

14. The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

15. Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.

16. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

17. When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn’t turn when they went.

18. As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

19. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20. Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

21. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

22. Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like the awesome crystal to look on, stretched out over their heads above.
